Thank you for your talent and your heart, for being in my life for 25 years. I'm here and I'm on the mend and since the day your heart played its final beat, going through all the memories linked to your music has helped me to overcome this cold day in the sun. Goodbye, my hero!

Eu não consigo entender. Não consigo aceitar que uma parte da banda que mais significa pra mim não está mais entre nós. Não consigo imaginar a música como um todo sem Taylor. Apesar da dor, que ele continue vivo em nossos pensamentos.

The world lost a very talented musician. He brought a lot of energy, charisma, , and heart to the foo fighters and his own band. I was glad to see him play many times with the Foo fighters. My condolences to his family, Dave Grohl, family. RIP. Thank you for all you gave us!

Our hearts are with all who knew and loved Taylor he was a monster at his craft. We all were looking forward to him and the Foo's tearing it up in Winnipeg Sept 21, 2022. Let's not point fingers at why you passed but point fingers at why you lived...for the love of it. R.I.P Bro.

This pic is from the 10/18/2017 Knoxville show. This is how i'll always choose to remember Taylor: haloed by golden light, being lifted in the air by a floating drum riser as he rips into the sickest drum solo you've ever heard in your fucking life. 🤘❤️ Rest well, T

So damn heartbroken for Taylor's family and his bandmates. I'm 63 years old and don't really follow to many people online but Taylor was one of the few I did. He was so full of life and was one of the best damn drummers on the planet. It's just a shame we lose yet another icon.
